I really truly miss our city centre. If I had known that most of these buildings would have fallen down or been pulled down for safety reasons I would have taken many more photos. This particular street is where many people died in the Feb 19th quake, and where my brave Mum had to pick her way through debris, destruction and death to get home. I think there will always be a lingering sadness for what we have lost. The heart of our city has suffered so much.

We up here in the North Island feel for you all. A tragic event with such repercussions. Visited last year and was overcome with the destruction. A great memory photo and fab page.Jan 31, 2013
